The former Tottenham and QPR boss has been dramatically revealed as the new manager of the England bowls team.

In an exclusive video, Redknapp said, “When you’ve been in the game for as long as I have you’re always looking for that next big challenge and when the chance to manage my country came along it was too good to turn down.”

But it’s only a big prank!

Redknapp was actually shooting a mock documentary in association with England Bowls sponsor FLEXISEQ, a drug-free gel used to reduce joint pain and stiffness.

FLEXISEQ, a topically applied, non-prescription gel designed to keep people of all ages active, has been attributed with assisting Redknapp in his rehabilitation from knee injury.
